Etymology
Semnificativ entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as a learned borrowing from French significatif, itself from Latin significativus. The Latin word derives from significare, to signify, built from signum, sign, and facere, to make. It arrived as part of the wave of French and Latin neologisms that reshaped Romanian vocabulary during the language's modernization, alongside relatives like semnificație and a semnifica.
